Social media influencer, model and aspiring actor David Licauco has been tagged as the Kapuso Network’s “Chinito Heartthrob.”
He sure fits the name as he was 2014’s Mr. Chinatown first runner-up, and has recently signed up with GMA and Regal Films.
Licauco has joined the stellar cast of GMA 7’s upcoming fantaserye “Mulawin vs. Ravena”, the much-awaited sequel of the 2004 TV epic, “Mulawin”.
“I’ll be playing Malik. It’s a new character, I’ll be the best friend of Bea Binene, whose character was played by Angel Locsin before. I’ll be doing a lot of action stuff, ‘coz I heard there will be a lot of fight scenes,” he revealed.
His role requires a lot of physical activity. Hence, he does a lot of training to strengthen his body and pack more muscle. His workout also brought him back to martial arts such as Muay Thai, boxing and even arnis.

Mounting a fantasy series with all the props and costumes is no joke. It’s almost like a Hollywood feel,” Licauco adds.
